Had to use the crappy Polaroid through the windows. One was close to the house at one point, really hefty birds. I love watching them try to fly and crash through the branches.

We had a bunch of them around our house last year too....I didn't know they actually can fly!!

(They weren't to bad but I was cleaning up cranberry sauce & Peppridge Farm stuffing off the street for a week!) :lol:

Cool!

Here's a pic I took the other day in the back of our place. They wouldn't let me too close to get a better photo. There was better than 100 in this flock spread out in the hay field.

They can fly, sort of. It takes a while to get off the ground and they tend to crash into anything in their way, vehicles included.

I guess this picture shows why they don't fly very well.

When they are shot at, I have seen them take off from the ground and go darn near vertical up over the tree tops.
Don't under estimate their flying capabilities.

Yeah they can fly. The dog chased up a family of about 8 chicks and mom. Mom ran and the chicks took off like little bottle rockets. Ended up in tress and bushes. Dog didn't know what the hell was going on.
